You might like the new kinda Berlin sound, like Apparat and T.Raumschmiere. It's kinda 4 4 ish, driving but not abrasive. Also if you like dubby housey clickey stuff try Vladislav Delay, AKA Loumo. Also you might like Murcof. The Martes stuff I like but there is one other that I'm not wild about. A.I. is wicked, one of the better new labels around. Claro Intellecto and the "New Town" comp you might like. I would guess it's more like experimental or old school techno sounds, or something. Also check out L'usine "serial Hodgepodge". --- shawn allen <shawn@alterior.net> wrote:
